The beds were comfortable, with warm blankets and thick fluffy pillows. I was staying in Oslo at the end of November, so it was quite cold outside, but the room was well heated – surprisingly well for Scandinavian countries, I should say 🙂 The dorm room was equipped with an adjacent bathroom with a heated floor, which was appreciated. The site was quiet and rather centrally located: you could reach the train station in 5-7 minutes' walk, and the city centre was also within a walking distance. Oslo is pricey, and this hostel will be the best option if splurging is not in your plans!

Friendly staff and nice cafe/bar downstairs with friendly fellow travellers. The offer we had was the best in Oslo, so the value was great.

Location is close to city centre, price, free wifi in rooms as well as reception. You pay once for the towels/sheets then change yourself at no extra cost.

Unlike their much newer, really weird sister-hostel Anker Apartment, Anker Hostel has a good mood, ambience, better clientele and much more consistently pleasant staff. (More skilled reception manager then, most likely.) Best shower water pressure in town, among hostels. Lounge-like reception area is sociable and has bar until 3 am every day – and really cheap! Also includes library, a seating gallery (kinda hidden) and lots of electricity outlets!

Easy to reach. I booked a bed in a mixed dormitory but they gave me a bed in female dormitory! This is a very great bonus to me. The wifi is meant to be available only at lobby, but I am able to get the wifi in my dorm at level 3.

Good accomodation. I had mixed dormitory for 8 people and we was in 7, but no problems :room was large and clean, with table and chairs; private bathroom was clean;bus and tram stop was in front of hostel and in few minutes I was in center (otherwise, also walking). Reassuming, a good accomodation for low cost budget travelers (N.B. : Iwasn't more a boy…, but I haven't any disagree.

Close to the Oslo Central Train Station and other parts of the city center. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would say that the staff at the Anker Hostel were its best feature and were excellent in general compared to staff at other hostels I've stayed at.

Excellent location close to Olso Central railway station and very close to trams and buses. The staff were very helpful and the hostel is excellent value for money.

The hostel was in a perfect location. 10 minute walk to the city centre and close to lots of bars. The accommodation was very comfortable and warm.

Nice clean room. The best you can get in a small budget. I booked the single room for two peoples and it was quite clean and somewhat luxurious as compare to price.

Mog from United Kingdom, September 30, 2015 at 11:52 pm

The hostel is in a good walking distance to the train station and close to a couple of mini newsagents and a great little grocery shop. The beds are comfy but they are the best highlights actually..

The hostel was full, so we were accommodated in the Anker Hotel next door. Very comfortable. Easy and pleasant walk into city centre.

*Rooms are reasonably spacious with enough floor space to put your luggage and walk thru. Cleanliness is fairly good. *(if these can be considered positive:) Building is sturdy, you don’t hear peoples’ footsteps when they walk in the corridor. Every room have large windows which is openable as some hostels don’t even have ventilation…) *One of the staff had very good attitude and was helpful in every request, while another was quite excremental.

We thought that the Anker Hostel was terrific and it was very good value for Norway. The staff were very friendly, always glad to assist with any queries we had. The hostel is in a good location, about 15 minutes walk from the city centre and the train station. Oslo isn't very big and we were able to walk to almost everything from the hostel. There are some good shopping streets just to the north, and some good restaurant streets just to the south.

For the location it was nice and cheap, only a few minutes to get to the main centre, or a tram ride away. Staff were nice and friendly. It is very basic, which is what you would expect for the price but even has a mini kitchenette which you would not even get in most hotel rooms.

Manuel from Spain, July 9, 2015 at 5:46 pm

The room was nice and large with a big window so plenty of light. It had a useful kitchen. The staff was friendly and the hotel was very quiet despite having a lot of guests.

A quick summary of my experience for this hostel; 1. Its walkable from City Centre & Railway Station! 2. Hosts were really nice and friendly! 3. Good security system! 4. Clean and tidy bed, room and bathroom! 5. Flexible check-in timings! I have seen people checking in from morning to night. So nobody has to worry about their arrival timings & check-in timings 🙂

-Kitchenette (fridge, stove, oven). -Clean -Excellent wifi signal (room 713, twin room) -Comfy beds. -24hour reception -Nice staff -10min walk to main train station and close to attractions too. This is a really great hostel, very reasonable price for Norway. A few things that they could improve on, but generally an awesome place to stay. I would definitely stay here again. There aren't kitchenette's in all rooms, (ours didn't have one-713) but they will give you a key to the communal kitchen if you ask when getting a kitchen box. I also saw one of the 6 bed dorms, (room 710, which had a kitchenette) and it looked nice too. Spacious and clean.

Superb location with 10 mins by bus and excellently connected to other areas with both tram and bus. The power of the shower is awesome.

Yi from Austria, June 22, 2015 at 5:11 pm

-fair price compared with the expensive city -near to the city center -free parking at the hostel between 4pm and 8am (but limited, only 5-6 slots)

My booking showed that I booked a room a tanker hostel, but the staff can't find my booking when we arrived at late night. Then they told me that cause my booking included free breakfast, so my booking was shared with anger hotel, which is next door to the hotels. It is a good thing for us as the hotel is much better than the hotels, as least don't need to pay for the bed liner separately. The breakfast is fine. Free luggage storage.

Marion from United Kingdom, February 27, 2015 at 7:54 pm

Location is brilliant. Only 10 min walk from bus and train stations. Ensuite bathrooms in dorms meaning you don't have to leave the room to shower Cooking facilities and fridge available in the rooms. Staff let you check in early if the room is available

Anne from United States of America, February 18, 2015 at 11:10 pm

Probably the cleanest bathrooms I have ever found in a hostel. Rooms were relatively spacious, beds comfortable, dormitory zone was very quiet. The location is convenient, though you do have to walk through a sketchy track to arrive.

Charlotte from Australia, February 8, 2015 at 11:59 pm

We liked having the little kitchen with hotplates and fridge in our room, makes eating in Oslo a lot cheaper. It has an elevator

Anna from Russia, January 15, 2015 at 10:13 pm

Price for Oslo is really low; Good number with small kitchen, bathroom and comfortable bed; Location; Parking for night is free.

Danielle from United Kingdom, January 9, 2015 at 4:21 pm

Staff very friendly and multi lingual. Kitchen and bathroom in dorms both excellent and can rent a kitchen box for a refundable deposit which includes pans, cutlery etc. would recommend.

Gustavo from Australia, January 3, 2015 at 8:24 pm

The hostel is great,easy to find and close to the main train station also you are right there where you want to be,in the middle of everything with no need to spend money using public transport(to main spots obviously).you also mett a lot of peolple from all over the world and can cook inside you bedrom as the have a fridge and stove and you can borrow everything when you need.24 H front desk meaning you can check in any time you want,good shower toilet,laundry,good wifi.When I first arrived I didnt have the best impression because the hostel lobby was a bit crowded but this impression changed quickly as I check in.To end the story I will go back to Anker hostel anytime I go back to Oslo.
